MSDTC Configuration

  • Hi,

    I'm doing a sql cluster 2008 install on win2k8. I have 3 disks partitioned for data, backup and dtc. During the installation of DTC, I have noticed that even though the disks are partitioned, it seems that DTC see this as a whole disk rather than a partition. Does this mean that I will need to have another disk presented on its own?

    Any advise well appreciated.

    Thanks

  • Microsoft recommends that you put MS DTC in its own group with its own physical disk resource, if it is possible.

    Are you using SAN or iSCSI initiator feature of windows server for strorage configuration. We had used the iSCSI with starwind application created vloumes and then configured storage.

  • Best practice for the SAN Partitions are

    DATA 1

    INDEX

    LOG

    MSSQL

    DTC

    QURUM

    you can increase the partition as

    DATA 1

    DATA 2

    INDEX 1

    INDEX 2

    LOG 1

    LOG 2

    BACKUP

    MSSQL(For SQL binaries)

    DTC

    QURUM

    DTC and Qurum should be seperate group
